We’ve got mist before the 50-foot drop on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom Park! As first mentioned by Charita Carter at D23 Expo in 2022, the mist is “gonna be different from anything that you have seen in an attraction.” A huge thanks to @caballero_ducky for sharing!

LOL at the people that still think it was a good idea to get rid of Splash Mountain.

Disney Parks are not mere “extensions of the brand”. They ARE the brand. Disney Executives need to get this fact straight. The sole thing that’s bailed them out of terrible decision making and it’s owed to the former Imagineers they constantly feel the need to disrespect.

I liked it enough the first time but the second was just BORING. Everything was working too. Outside of the finale it’s such an unengaging, emotionless attraction.
